I grew up in Pittsburgh PA, but at the start of high school, I moved to upper Michigan with my dad. That's when I fell in love with snowboarding. Fast forward 5 years, now I'm in a two year college, and I hope to move back to my home area once I'm done.

Now I know western PA doesn't get half the snow that I see here in upper MI, so I understand that the seasons won't be quite as long.

AND I also understand that Seven Springs has snowmaking, and has been rated #1 Park and Pipe by TransWorld Snowboarding magazine as well, and Forum has even filmed movie parts there. So this seems like it would be a dream come true; for me to move back to PA and still keep up my snowboarding.

I'm basically just wondering, when does the mountain usually open and close for the season, and how are the conditions overall?

7Springs is IMO the best mountain resort in the Mid-Atlantic. It sees a decent amount of snow and holds it far longer than other resorts in the area b/c of its elevation and being in the middle of the Allegheny Ridge helps. Its a great little resort actually and is big enough that it spreads out the different ability riders effectively so your not having to slalom beginners sitting on their asses all day. Much like Copper Mtn in that respect. When it dumps there are some decent tree runs too.

Hello! springs is a GREAT little resort, and the parks there are AWESOME they also got a few good blues and blacks and stuff to mess around on, but they are a great plaace to go if you are in the pittsburghh asrea and you wanna get out for a day or the weekend, great place, much better than hidden valley or dont make me have to say it....

Some of the guys at my local shop (which is over a four hour drive away) make it a point to go there every season at least once, so I think that speaks pretty highly to its credibility.

YES this place is HIGHLY credible. have you ever been there? if its under a few hour drive, then you should look into trying it out. its such a nice place, but it depends where you live, over 3-4hr drive, probally not worth it. but i would def. be willing to spend 13 hours in a car to go to copper or jackson or something amazing like that

Its a great place..If you like riding parks,I can almost promise you that you wont miss Michigan.It would be even better if they made the tow-rope operational for the whole season in Santa's Beard.. jk.. but you will love it bro.
